Spa & Leisure
Tankersley Manor is built around a former 17th century residence with many of the original features being retained, including exposed wooden beams and cottage style windows, however, the purpose built health club facilities provide a modern edge alongside a tranquil spa where health and fitness is overseen by fitness gurus.
Design is modern throughout this part of Tankersley Manor, and with five treatment rooms including a double room, therapists at the spa offer a range of therapies from facials and massages to wraps, manicures and pedicures.
Hotel & Accommodation
A four star destination, the hotel and accommodation at Tankersley Manor combines the rustic charm of original features including exposed wooden beams and Yorkshire stone windowsills alongside contemporary style. With a mixture of room types there is something for everyone from twin rooms, spacious superior rooms to luxury suites which have their own lounge area.
There are a number of public areas at the hotel to relax. The hotel Bar & Brasserie serves great local home cooked food, for larger groups there are a host of private dining options available and in March 2017 a new bar and lounge area opened with plush modern furnishings set against characterful old English stone walls.

Very lovely spa, really friendly staff. Really clean and amazing pruducts which were also available in the showers! The only negatives were my particular therapist was really light on the massage on by back, legs and feet and i feel like it was a wasted treatment. She was extremely nice, but young so could have been due to maybe lack of experience. I am a Therapist so can be critical.
Spa area lovely but just not enough seating, we stayed in the pool/jacuzzi for 1.5hr and no where to sit. It would have been nice to sit at side of pool.
This is an annual visit to Tankersley. Overall the visit was lovely, however the hotel is badly in need of updating. The room was shabby and the beds were uncomfortable. The spa was excellent as usual. I did see a display which indicated that the hotel was to be re-furbished, so I will be booking again next year.
We booked a last minute spa day through spa breaks at Tankersley Manor, the booking process was straightforward. We booked the autumn gold treatment which was really relaxing and enjoyable, we had a really chilled enjoyable day which wasn't too far from home. The package included coffee and a Danish pastry, we decided to have lunch which was extra, the lunchtime menu was a little expensive but really nice food.
Overall, a lovely place to go. Tankersley Manor as a whole is gorgeous both inside and out. The spa was nice enough, however, I wasn't blown away by the interior décor of the spa, especially compared to interior of the resturant/hotel section. That being said, the spa treatments were fantastic, the massage therapists were very good and the food was lovely. Would recommend.
Wonderful entrance which smells divine! All the staff were very helpful and friendly, faultless customer service. Pool was the perfect temperature, hot tub was wonderfully warm. Sauna and steam room all very functional. The therapist and treatment was excellent. The package was excellent value for money.
could do with more gathering space to lounge and sit and outside space that is not for smokers, maybe pool and jaccuzi outside, staff were lovely and on the whole most of us had great experience although one of our party didnt and they have given her a free treatment vist so all good ,we would definatly go again.
The Spa treatments were excellent. I had a facial and it was brilliant. I had my feet scrubbed (dead skin removed) as I don't like them being massaged and the guys were helpful and they feel amazing now. The beautician was lovely! There is a GYM which has lots of equipment. We went in there for half hour followed by jacuzzi and swim. The pool was surprisingly cool! There are sun lounges to lounge about on after which is nice. All the staff in the Spa are very helpful and lovely. I would definitely re-vist here again!
We were a group of six and enjoyed having the time together to use the pool, steam room and sauna.
We enjoyed our lunch and were conveniently able to alter the time when we realised we'd booked it too early.
We did have a morning coffee/tea and the only downside was having to cross to the brasserie in our robes to have this, but it didn't have a notable difference to our session together.
We didn't chose to have additional treatments.
All the staff were friendly and personable.
The facilities were clean and tidy, though possibly ready for an update.
I do wonder about the use of single use plastic cups and packaging with the slippers - increasingly people are aware of these recycling/ environmental issues.
It was a great way to have quality time together. Thank you.
Think the spa area is a little small and limited to sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and small pool. Changing room is a little dated now, having been over the last 6 years. That aside, the treatment areas are really calming and the staff are especially friendly and experienced. I had the fit for business back treatment and loved my experience. Joanna knew exactly what oils I needed just from telling her about my working week.
Looking forward to booking again!
The therapist was very pleasant and the atmosphere was very nice in the treatment rooms. The description of treatments was a little unclear. I thought l was having a pedicure, but ended up having a file and polish. Not the fault of the therapist. We were asked before we went which treatments we wanted, then we were asked again when we arrived, so maybe something was lost in the translation??
The spa facilities were OK but busy. On our final morning, we thought we could stay for a whole morning but were told we could only use the spa until 11am, checkout time. This gave us 45mins, on this day the sauna hadn't been switched on, the staff were too busy to attend straight away, by the time it was done our time was up so we didn't get our sauna. So it felt like we'd been a bit short changed. But as l said before, it was a deal so in a way we got what we paid for. Probably wouldn't go there again.
I was disappointed when asking the prices of the products, i was shown a product which the girl was using and she said £30 so i decided to get one only to find that the large jar that she showed me was not what you got. It was a small tube of it instead. I did feel done, for £30 i thought i would have been told it want that size jar that you got.
From my first communication with Matt at spabreaks to walking back out from Tankersley Manor everything was first class. The spa is not massive but it was perfect for myself and daughter felt so relaxed as soon as we got there. Lunch was real value for money and more than what I would call a ‘light’ lunch. I had the back and face massage for my treatments it was lovely felt so relaxed when it was finished. Overall we had a fantastic day celebrating my daughter’s 40th birthday would definitely go again thank you
The treatments were of a high standard as were the therapists and could not be faulted.
The only downside was that there was no relaxation room and nowhere to have a cup of tea/coffee in the spa area. This may be a deliberate choice on behalf of the management to move customers away from the spa area but it would have been better to be able to relax and have a drink straight aftthe treatment.

We have stayed Tankersley Manor many times before but this was the first time since new ownership. Everything was just as good as always and we enjoyed our visit. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly just as before.
The jacuzzi was not working but we had a phone call before hand to inform us and an offer to change our dates but we decided against this
Beds too hard, so had very little sleep. The hotel is not very disabled friedly, as there are steps everywhere, and 2 of our party have mobility issues. We booked 4 rooms at the same time, but we were placed over 2 different floors, making it difficult for the whole group. At dinner, one of our party didn't get her starter at the same time as the rest of us, hers had been given to a different table we were told. By the time she received her starter, the rest of the group had finished theirs. One of the guests was given a dirty tea cup, which had to be changed. One room had a dirty sock left in it from the previous guests, and there were lipstick marks on one of the bathroom glasses in that same room. We washed it ourselves before we used it! One of the party didn't get the full treatment booked. Instead of head neck and shoulder massage, she was told by the therapist that she could choose to have neck or head done. In the spa changing rooms, 1 of the showers was broken, with the shower head coming away in my hand! Some of the lockers had the coin tray missing, which meant that on opening the licker door, the £1 coin dropped out onto the floor unexpectedly. As a disabled person, one of the group struggled to retrieve it, and a stranger came to her aid.
Had it just been 1 or 2 small things, they could have been overlooked, but all these things put together made our stay less than satisfactory. We wont be returning to Tankersley Manor.
Spa breaks booked everything for me so once I arrived at the hotel it was easy and everything went smoothly. I had booked 2 rooms and unfortunately one of the rooms was not ready for an hr after check in whilst I walked past there a few times and it was still being cleaned but I didn't make a big deal and went to the spa which made me forget about that and once I got out of there I got my room. The best part is the staff are lovely and helpful and the food is fantastic.
Lovely location and easy to find. The hotel was nice and the room very comfortable with all the extras you'd need, iron, trouser press, hairdryer. The bathroom in the room wasn't great but we understand they are upgrading certain areas. A bath would've been nice but obviously not essential. The menu was varied and the food was lovely
The hotel and grounds are lovely with ample car parking. We'd booked twin rooms and therefore were surprised to find we had double rooms. The room was clean but very warm but luckily we found a fan in the wardrobe which helped. No fridge in the room but everything else one needs for a comfortable break.
Staff were all friendly. Beds were very comfortable and spacious. Tea, Coffee and hair dryer in the room with mini fridge was a plus. Food was excellent. If we had got wine/drinks included in our meal it would have been 5 star. When we got to our room we were a bed missing and had to ring up and wait. We were told we'd get a call back but didn't. No problem as when we rang half hour later they said a bed had been placed in the other room. Spa was lovely! Treatments were brilliant. I would go again!
We have stayed a couple of times and always been suitably impressed. However on this occasion we were told we couldn’t check in as the systems were down. We were asked to wait in the bar area. It took half an hour for the system to become available. A complimentary drink would have been a good gesture. I was also asked to pay a bar bill when checking out but had not had anything charged to the room. I was then contacted to ask to pay the bill even though we had not charged anything.
Beautiful location, lovely, friendly staff. Room was cosy and comfortable beds with good power shower and toiletries provided. Tea/coffee making facilities and hairdryer in room too.
Drinks expensive but expected, good quality food and service there.
Been 4 times now since 2013 and will definitely return.
The staff were pleasant on our arrival but unfortunately we were booked into a double room instead of a twin. This meant we had n extra wait and then a rush to get to our treatments at 2pm. (Should have asked for later treatments).
The meals were ok but we had long waits to be served.
No frills in the restaurant for the evening meal, but very expensive wine choices...cheapest at £23 a bottle of red. £7 for a very small dessert etc.
The staff were very nice and as helpful as they could be.
If we had paid the full price for our break l would have been much more disappointed, as it was a deal l suppose it is to be expected. You get what you pay for.
The bed we stayed in wasn’t comfy in the slightest, we didn’t sleep well and were aching in the morning. We were awoken at 06:45 by what we assume to be the pool aircon which was right outside our room window.
During waiting for our table in the evening, staff were squabbling behind the bar which included swearing. Most staff were pleasant and helpful, but there were one or two who were rude and too busy arguing with each other to care about customer service. There was a list of about 6 or 7 cocktails braisenly displayed on the board by the side of the bar. My partner and I chose the same cocktail which took 3 members of the team to construct as neither one knew how to do it. They took a good five minutes to make each one, separately!
Breakfast was lovely and the staff there were friendly and helpful.
Overall I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.
Check in was quick and professional, room was exceptionally clean and comfortable lunch was served in relays meaning we didn’t all eat at the same time, delays serving tea/coffee, my coffee was served 10 minutes after everyone else’s.
Evening meal was delicious all served together however cocktails included in our package were selected for us with just a choice of 3 available.
